Sandy Koufax

Sandy's last two years in the major leagues...

1965 - 27 wins 8 losses 335.7 IP 216 strikeouts 2.04 ERA 3.26 League ERA 0.855 WHIP MVP-2,CYA-1,AS

1966 - 27 wins 9 losses 323.0 IP 241 strikeouts 1.73 ERA 3.28 League ERA 0.985 WHIP MVP-2,CYA-1,AS

If there was ever a pitcher who went out still at the top of his game, it was Sandy Koufax...

shawn kemp... went from being a 20 & 10 guy to 6 & 4 within the span of 2 seasons.

David Duval- PGA golfer went from Number #1 ranking in the world one year to shooting in 80's and couldn't make the cuts regularly.:>(

We've been through this before, just ignore Rail, it's just a case of Rail being Rail.

Although he wasn't ever an elite golfer, Ian Baker-Finch is another guy that went from winning a major to being unable to break 80.

Shaun Alexander.

Went from league MVP in 2005 with over 1,800 yards and 27 TDs to crap almost overnight.

The average life of a running back in the league is short. Although it seems like a steep fall, it wouldn't rank as a high one on the list. Plus he did have a bad injury which also played a role.

penny hardaway is always the first name that pops up in my head for the "what if?"

Jose Lima - 20 game winner with Houston
Scott Mitchell - Lions QB 4000yds/30 TDs in the 90's

wtf happened to Steve Francis?

That's a good one, but I'll say this. The guy should never have been a starter for the West in any allstar game. I think he was voted to start 3 times, but the only reason he achieved that vote was because he was Yao Ming's teammate and all the people in China who voted for Yao also voted for Francis.

Tmac at one point was a surefire hof player until the knees buckled up.

Will he go down in history as Grant Hill ver. 2.0?
